Ever wanted to attend pharmacy school but couldn’t afford the five years or more of college it takes or the six-figure’s worth of tuition to get your degree? There’s a much cheaper way, and it will only set you back about $27.99; it’s the autobiography of Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith. It’s appropriately-titled Does The Noise In My Head Bother You? Besides being a terrific read, if you’re interested in the daily routine of a rock star and pharmacology, this is your bible. If you don’t learn at least two dozen ways to get high after finishing this book then you deserve to stick with helium as your “master.”

The book isn’t just a Physician’s Desk Reference of drugs. Rather, it’s a well-woven story of the life of arguably one of the best-loved Rock & Roll front men in the business. The fact that Tyler (born Steven Tallarico) has lived the life he has and is still lucid enough at the age of 63 is news in itself. He also doesn’t shy away from adversity and when warranted, blames himself for a lot of the bad things that have happened to him. He’s able to remember little tidbits from his childhood (a feat in and of itself) that played a major role in inspiring his behavior and spawning his creativity.
